Obliviously Correct
Chapter 12: Payments
Ron's POV
I couldn't stop myself from glancing at her every few seconds. A crowded pub and a barmaid with a cleavage to make a dementor sweat, and here I was glancing at Hermione Jean Granger and becoming tongue tied.
She looked at me and started talking about something, I tried to listen I honestly did but I got lost for a moment in her beautiful eyes. The way her nose wrinkled cutely whenever she was scorning something, the way her eyebrows raised whenever she was concluding something, the way her soft full lips would part and close rapidly spouting out endless streams of knowledge, the way she was staring at me with confusion and…WAIT! Staring at me that meant I had to respond right?
My brain struggled to locate a suitable answers.
"Definatbly" I mumbled vaguely aware of what I had said.
"Ron that's not even a word" her beautiful voice rang out.
"Light reading?" I was pitching half sentences in the hope she would say something now.
"Ron you're drooling!" Hermione looked slightly panicked as my mind finally ground back into gear.
"Oh god sorry Hermione I was miles away I was just erm…..thinking about dinner yeah" My excuse was feeble but it was all I had at that moment in time.
I was all too aware of how close my hand was to Hermione's and this revelation sparked off another mental battle.
Just hold her hand!
This circulated around my head as I blushed and tried to move my stubborn hand. Hermione had turned very pink and seemed to be breathing heavily.
She kept glancing at my hand and then her hand, I wanted so badly to hold it but I was too nervous to try.
With a loud bang the doors to the pub flew open spewing out none other than Neville Longbottom with a crimson face and Luna Lovegood who shockingly rather than having her day dreamy expression looked rather flustered.
"Neville are you ok?" Luna seemed incredibly worried about Neville's obvious clumsiness, he launched himself to his feet glanced around and began shouting he was fine repeatedly.
The pub fell silent, watching the sudden commotion. I never thought I'd see the day when Neville snapped and acted out of instinct alone.
After realising that he could not be humiliated any more the Gryffindor in Neville was released.
He turned around and pulled Luna close to him; seconds later he pressed his lips to hers and hugged her to him.
There was a loud cheer that went around the pub as the couple embraced blushing like mad.
I turned to look at Hermione when I heard my sister's voice right behind me.
"Harry I really like you I've felt like this for a long time and I haven't had the nerve to tell you"
YESS my mind screamed, Ginny had admitted her feelings first I had won the bet. I turned grinning to see Hermione's shocked expression. The expression was followed by a depressed look. I looked at Harry and Ginny.
Harry's face was priceless he looked like he wanted to whoop for joy and at the same time drown himself.
"I…I…" Harry stuttered flabbergasted.
There was a red blur and Ginny had disappeared the banging of the door resounding in our ears.
Seconds later Harry followed after her and I launched in hot pursuit. Several yards from the pub Harry grabbed Ginny and span her around into his arms. He kissed her tenderly caressing her arm.
They broke apart and Harry said something to my rather stunned sister.
I turned to Hermione who looked severely depressed.
"Everyone seems to be getting together today" she muttered to herself, but I heard it and I knew what to do.
"Hermione seeing as though I won the bet…"
"Ok Ron I'll do your homework for the next two months" Hermione sighed in defeat.
"No I was actually hoping you'd spend a night camping with me" I blushed staring at her feet.
There was a moment's pause followed by a small quiet "yes".
Back at the castle word was spreading fast about Harry and Ginny getting together and Neville's sudden bravado. Even the Ravenclaws were looking at Neville with more respect now he'd finally proven to himself he was worthy enough to be in Gryffindor.
Now all I had to do was find a time when me and Hermione could go camping on the school grounds, I was hoping to get permission and if that failed Harry had promised to loan me his invisibility cloak. Things looked positive and I was optimistic but extremely nervous. Fred and George were a nightmare to deal with when they found out I had asked Hermione to spend the night with me.
"Remember we have condoms for you Ronniekins" they had said in unison in front of a packed great hall. I had blushed blood red and threatened to do mum a favor and murder the twins in their beds.
The plan was set, I would ask McGonagall for permission in the morning and see what happened from there. Until then I had been avoiding Hermione out of embarrassment.
The last thought that entered my mind as I got ready for bed that night was, well here goes nothing.
Awooooooo! Sorry it was a bit short dear readers I'm just desperate to write Luna's POV and to do that I need to end this chapter haha. Read and REVIEW my dear readers I'm wrapping things up soon my dear ones. Good night for now Awoooooooo!
